libsndfile requires sizeof(sf_count_t) == 8, where sf_count_t is a
typedef alias for off_t. This is not true by default for all
tool-chains, which leads to a runtime assert failure in binaries
compiled against libsndfile. See:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.libsndfile.devel/229
Add a dependency on BR2_LARGEFILE for libsndfile, and a comment if
BR2_LARGEFILE is not selected.

Ok, looks better. But now you need to udpate all the reverse
dependencies of libsndfile (i.e, all packages that select
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSNDFILE), to add the same BR2_LARGEFILE dependency. This
concerns bluez_utils, gst-plugins-bad, mpd and pulseaudio.
(Note: this problem should be simplified once we get Yann's work on
the _AVAILABLE thing merged, but in the mean time, we have to handle
those reverse dependencies manually).
Best regards,
Thomas
